I played some villagers and many mages and almost always gave you a fight as my mages, even if I knew I couldn't win, just because you were good sport.

Anything aside, thanks for how you handled inductions. Considering the reduced numbers of players, Our age, real life issues, lack of CF dedication possibilities and ... It was very nice to induct as easy as you did. I hope they continue this method. Just for this single reason, I will never forget Xzelyx!

I liked the quiet menace, and can’t believe how lucky I got the one time I managed to kill you. I like tough characters that have solid roleplay like this one - fun to fight even when I died.

So, that was quite fun. I started the character a while back to try out the build that Hexugar had. When I was playing then, I was jealous, he always popped on the CB with "so and so is dead. Oh, and I tripped and killed his friend too". I was not disappointed with the build.

I tried to make a point with this character to not shy away from battles that I had a reasonable chance of surviving from. I also poured every single thing I could into extra con, so that was quite a lot of deaths with early leadership.

Lots of people to remember, so I won't try to call anyone out. I will say that despite a lot of the negativity on the forums and discord, the one thing that really shone out was how well enemies treated me when I fell. It was rare that I lost anything except coins, and I can't really recall a time I lost more than three items. In exchange, I tried to keep on bringing the fights.

So a good experience all around :)

Me running from Yerek into you, into Nesostrei was a crazy circumstance. I appreciated your statement that you did not intend things to happen that way a lot. Great sportsmanship.

Making hunting mages political makes sense (somewhat), especially as an evil Commander but it's lame when we mechanically should be taking the head but really can't (you'd be in trouble if we did that on the regular).

Many of your actions inadvertently laid bare how much the Cabal is in dire straits. But that's not on you. A loaded topic, so I will leave it at that.

See you with the next!

Invokers are just a really poor matchup against village scouts, period. I met a couple of invokers that did well, but mostly it was by trying to be sneaky about things and take advantage of me pushing at them.

And the politics were entirely intentional. I wanted to keep the head (got tired of having to get it every time I woke when I first started), and I wanted to have everybody fighting everybody else.

I always figured that people are more likely to battle if they're pretty sure they are going to get the majority of their armor back. I wanted as many fights as I could get. And I think I spent some two hundred hours with the exact same set, which might be a record for me. It wasn't all the very best things, but gave me enough stat coverage, saves, and HPs to make things work well.

I'm going to say I am horribly disappointed you got away yesterday! So VERY close. I mistyped two things, otherwise I think I would have had you :)

It was that a few times! Impossible as your build was, I am happy I managed to escape it at least.

I loved this character and am hugely impressed with how top notch you were from beginning to end. That's such an achievement.

It was great to see you in action from various angles - as your enemy, your ally, a young villager, roadkill, and so on.

Way to play and leave your mark for an entire year.

Thank you!

Roadkill...ha! Let me guess, Eastern Road? I will have it known for the record that I definitely DID hunt far away from there. And I had no qualms about waking up and killing anyone I found there :)

I didn’t interact with you all that much but when I did you always kept it professional. Despite what happened yesterday in Maethien, I really did like your character. Thanks for not going too balls out on me after the mages bailed. I was still frustrated to die there and I apologize for how I handled that. Once again, you kept your word, so thank you. Can’t wait to see your next, hopefully not Team Evil™!

I figured you were going to die anyways, and being a goblin-loving villager, technically parity wasn't broken since you were part of a party of five. Not our fault that your mage friends left. You should really be angry at them, maybe kill them, mmmkay? :)

I tried to make a point with Xzelyx to always be respectful and polite to people, even when I was insulting them. Respect was big with him, and it led to a couple of wars.

Not sure what's next really, think I need a touch of a break first!

yccalla, pvask, leemoine, zcarad, felar ap app at least, something about you when i would interact just clicked. We were very close friends on a couple toons I think, and I also think im responsible for at least 2 leader con LOL.

I truly and thoroughly enjoyed every interaction that we had, the exploring, the behind the scenes politics and cabal wars and secrets we had.

Your char is in one of the top tier lists of mine, and again, I enjoyed every interaction we had.

You know, I think you just might be. I could have lasted another three years if it wasn't for you! :)

Agreed, I enjoyed your characters, and I definitely enjoyed the political games and such.

Enjoyed our fights, our conversations and the sense that your char gave me. After I'm gone, I'll maybe say more but job well done.

Damned millipede-kelpie. I appreciate our conversations too, and your willingness to come out and fight. Solid char :)
